Has anyone used any of these vinyl laminates on a cocktail before?  If so, how did it turn out?

Which of these three colors do you think would look the best on a cocktail?

Thanks,
Stobe

those all look good!

Any chance we can get a pic of the room it's going in? Otherwise, I like cherry or maple.

I've always been partial to the red tones in the cherry laminate.  I think it has more character.  But if you are looking for authentic, the teak color is probably closer to what was commonly used back in the day.

Hey Stobe,

I have two unused rolls of the Cherry stuff from them.

I'll sell them to you for 75% of retail plus ship.

Let me know.

Hmmmm, I'm glad Randy praised the cherry color before Koolmoecraig offered up his goods for sale.  Otherwise I'd cry Conspiracy!  j/k

Sending PM

(check my Proj Announcement, and you'll see why 2 rolls may come in handy :) )

I actually used about 2 feet off of one of the rolls that I forgot about.

$30 shipped if you want them.

Thanks!

Teak for me, but I'm a plain guy - no flash.

I'm thinking cherry for my Ms Pac restoration.

For once I want my cabinet to look like furniture. The cherry looks a bit more modern too.

BTW, I'm guessing it may really be through Parts Express since the prices are IDENTICAL, but here's an Amazon link for the same things.

Just in case someone has an extra Amazon gift certificate or something.

I want to see someone recover a cocktail in silver  ;D
Brevity is not my strong suit.

I ordered my vinyl from AMazon...I think it actually does come from Parts Express if I remember correctly. Good stuff.
